Science and art are increasingly interconnected in the activities of the study and conservation of works of art. Science plays a key role in cultural heritage, from developing new analytical techniques for studying the art, to investigating new ways of preserving the materials for the future. For example, high resolution multispectral examination of paintings allows art historians to view underdrawings barely visible before, while the use of non-invasive and micro-sampling analytical techniques allow scientists to identify pigments and binders that help art conservators in their work. It also allows curators to understand more about how the artwork was originally painted. Through a series of...

Werner Reinhart (1884–1951) war kein "Sponsor" oder "Drittmittelgeber" im heutigen Sinn, sondern er entsprach dem klassischen Typus eines altruistischen Mäzens und machte Winterthur und die Villa Rychenberg vor etwa 100 Jahren zu einem kulturellen Zentrum. Dank seiner finanziellen Mittel und seines sorgfältig gepflegten Netzwerks war es dem Kaufmann und Musikliebhaber möglich, zahlreiche Komponisten, Interpreten und Dirigenten zu unterstützen. Zu den von Reinhart Geförderten gehören auch so große Namen wie Alban Berg, Paul Hindemith, Ernst Krenek, Arnold Schönberg, Richard Strauss, Igor Strawinsky, Anton Webern oder Rainer Maria Rilke. Hermann Scherchen, Reinharts jahrzehntelanger Verbündeter am Dirigentenpult des Musikkollegiums Winterthur, nannte dessen Wirken "unmerklich" und einer "wohltätigen unterirdischen Strömung" gleich. Mit Beiträgen von Esma Cerkovnik, Daniel Ender, Franziska Gallusser, Lion Gallusser, Thomas Irvine, Christian Kämpf, Doris Lanz, Arturo Larcati, Laurenz Lütteken, Michael Meyer, Alessandra Origani, Kerstin Richter, Ullrich Scheideler, Ulrike Thiele und Matthew Werley.
Research on historical children's bibles is still marginalized in academic research on religious education media. This is also true of the Swiss context. This volume examines three pertinent Swiss children's bibles from the second half of the 18th century: the Children's Catechism Bible, or Holy Church and Bible History by Abraham Kyburz; "Biblical Tales for Young People", edited by Johann Jakob Hess, and "Sixty Bible Stories from the Old and New Testament" by Johann Rudolf Schellenberg. The key questions for analysis are: on what idea of children are the children's bibles discussed here based? What commonalities and differences are there in the educational concepts of children and childhood? The book also discusses didactical considerations in the three books under discussion.
